First Time Use 16.0

Dealer Assistance 16.1

During first time use by the client, it is advised that the dealer or service
technician assists and explains the different drive configurations to the
customer (the user and/or the attendant). If needed, the dealer can make
final adjustments.

User Testing 16.2

It is important that the customer is fully aware of the installation of the i-Drive,
how to use it, and what settings in the software or App can be adjusted in order
to gain as much mobility as possible. As a dealer, proceed as follows:

 Explain and show the customer how you have executed the installaon, and explain

the funcons that have been assigned to the device.

Have the user test all configurations of the device:

 Is the device being used by the client within easy reach and in an opmal posion for the

user?

 Can the user safely operate the wheelchair with minimal eort?

Conditions Of Use 16.3

The i-Drive 4.0 with Bluetooth® wireless technology is intended for use as
installed by the dealer, in accordance to the installation instructions in this
manual.

 The foreseen condions of use are communicated by the dealer or service technician

to the user and/or aendant during the rst me use.

Maintenance 17.0

Care And Maintenance 17.1

Ensure the hardware you are using stays in working order by keeping it cared
for and maintained.

 Keep electronics dry and out of the water.

W A RN I NG

Getting electronics wet will cause irreversible damage to the circuitry.

 Periodically check the hardware for looses screws or worn parts. Replace or repair the parts

as needed.

 To clean the aluminum, use a mild, nonabrasive household cleaner.

 To wash covers, removed the cover from the pad, machine wash cold on a delicate cycle

and drip dry aerwards.

 On the hardware, lightly ghten set screws unl they are snug, then ghten an extra

quarter turn.

W A RN I NG

Do no overtighten set screws. Over tightening set screws will prevent
hardware from functioning properly and could cause irreversible damage
to the hardware.

Safety 17.2

Avoid getting electronics wet and working on electronics with wet or damp
hands. This could cause minor to severe electrocution, resulting in personal
injury and/or product damage.

Technical Data 17.3

The i-Drive Bluetooth Interface was tested and found to be in compliance with
the required criteria and met the standards of IEC60601-1-2:2014 (Edition 4.0);
